Testing Out The New Green Screen Studio

Thanks to the money generated by selling ad space on this site, I was able to buy an inexpensive yet very useful studio light in order to create better lighting effects for those videos that I'm known to create. I purchased a lighting kit with a 27 Watts 5500K Fluorescent Photo Lamp Bulb to use as a light source. For the green screen, I spray painted a piece of cardboard with Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Meadow Green Gloss spray paint.

In order to test the set up, I recorded a brief news segment. It is currently processing in Adobe Ultra. It doesn't look to bad. In fact, for a first shot, it looks pretty damn good. There will certainly have to be some tweaking done to the screen as well as the lighting setup, but, so far, I'm pretty happy with the results. I'll have the resulting footage put up later this week.
